Claims against Solicitors

What is involved?

Unfortunately, things do not always go as well as they should when you consult a professional. You may not have received as much in damages as you were entitled to, or you may even have lost your case as a result of poor advice from your solicitor. Or your solicitor may have made a one-off mistake, such as missing a time limit, which has had a serious impact on your case.

If you have been involved in a personal injury or clinical negligence claim, and now find yourself in this position, it is very important that you take steps to put things right as soon as possible. The first thing you need to do is to consult a solicitor who is highly experienced in this complex area of law.

It is important you obtain advice as quickly as possible as time limits will apply to your claim – the rules relating to time limits applicable to professional negligence claims are quite complex.
